EFFECT. I AM AYMAN MOHYELDIN. LET'S DO IT. ♪ ♪ >>> GAZA'S YOUNGEST UNIVERSITY WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2014 WITH A SIMPLE GOAL, ENSURING POVERTY WOULD NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF ANY PALESTINIAN THAT WANTED TO PURSUE A COLLEGE DEGREE. IT WAS KNOWN FOR ITS TOWERING MAIN BUILDING AND ARCHWAY ENTRANCE, CONSTRUCTED AS A LOVE LETTER TO ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE. THE UNIVERSITY WAS SET TO MARK ITS 10th ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR TO ELEVATE THAT MILESTONE, THE SCHOOL PLANNED TO OPEN A PUBLIC MUSEUM ON CAMPUS HOUSING MORE THAN 3000 ARTIFACTS INCLUDING RELICS FROM THE ROMAN EMPIRE TO MORE MODERN PIECES OF PALESTINIAN HISTORY AND CULTURE. HOWEVER, THE UNIVERSITY AND THE ITEMS WITHIN ITS WALLS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED. ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES DEMOLISHED THE UNIVERSITY MAIN BUILDING REDUCING ITS RUBBLE IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THE ISRAELI MILITARY INITIALLY TRIED TO JUSTIFY THIS ACTION CLAIMING THE CAMPUS HAD BEEN "USED BY HAMAS FOR MILITARY ACTIVITY, THAT THERE WERE CONCERNS THE GROUP MIGHT USE IT TO ATTACK ISRAELI FORCES." BUT, LATER, THE ISRAELI MILITARY ADMITTED THERE HAD BEEN FLAWS IN THE OPERATIONAL PROCESS, INCLUDING THE DECISION TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE BUILDING. HOWEVER, ISRA UNIVERSITY WAS NOT ALONE IN GAZA. ACCORDING TO AN NBC ANALYSIS , MULTIPLE UNIVERSITIES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED OR DAMAGED SINCE ISRAEL BEGAN ITS BOMBARDMENT OF THE GAZA STRIP. HISTORIAN AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, NOTING "WHEN YOU DESTROY THESE KIND OF INSTITUTIONS YOU ARE NOT FIGHTING HAMAS, YOU'RE FIGHTING THE EXISTENCE OF THE PALESTINIANS. YOU'RE FIGHTING THEIR ABILITY TO HAVE MEMORY AND RECORDS, AND TO BE EDUCATED." YOU AND EXPERTS ARE NOW SOUNDING THE ALARM EXPRESSING CONCERN THESE ATTACKS ON UNIVERSITIES IN GAZA ARE PART OF A MUCH LARGER EFFORT TO ATTENTIVELY DESTROY THE PALESTINIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM, AN ACTION KNOWN AS SCHOLASTICISM. THE WAR HAS 88,000 STUDENTS ACCORDING TO THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY MINISTRY OF HIGHER EDUCATION, BUT IF YOU TURNED ON TELEVISION IT IS APPARENTLY AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES THAT ARE UNDER ATTACK. AS PER PALESTINIAN ANTIWAR PROTESTS CONTINUE TO SPREAD TO CAMPUSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY COVERAGE OF THESE PROTESTS HAVE DOMINANCE TRADED. >> I AM REMINDED OF JANUARY THE SIXTH, THAT'S WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE TO ME. >> THIS MIGHT LOOK LIKE JANUARY 6th, BUT IT'S THOUSAND TIMES WORSE. >> CHARLOTTESVILLE WAS A LITTLE PEANUT, AND IT'S NOT THE KIND OF HATE YOU HAVE HERE. >> I DO NOT SAY THAT LIGHTLY. >> KEEP MARCHING FOR HAMAS, KIDS. >> HAMAS IS HERE. >> EVEN THE NOTION OF AN ENCAMPMENT IS A PHYSICAL THREAT. >> WE HAVE A TERRORIST GROUP MARCHING INTO NEW YORK RIGHT NOW. >> THEY ARE DUMB AND OR UNATTRACTIVE, TAKE IT TO THE BANK. PERSPECTIVE BEEN BRAINWASHED BY TIKTOK TO BELIEVE ISRAEL IS COMMITTING GENOCIDE. >> WAS HAPPENING ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES IS ROOTED IN ANTI- SEMITISM. >> THEY ARE EMBRACING THE RHETORIC, AND THE IDEOLOGY OF HAMAS. >> NEGOTIATING WITH TERRORISTS WORK FOR THEM? >> FASCISM AS A RESULT OF THESE PROTESTS. >> WE ARE GOING TO HAVE FASCISM AS A RESULT OF THESE PROTESTS. ABSOLUTE HYSTERIA FROM THE MEDIA, OUTRAGE OVER PROTESTERS SETTING UP TENTS, OCCUPYING BUILDINGS, AS GAZA'S ENTIRE EDUCATION SYSTEM LIES IN RUINS. U.S. MEDIA HAVE BECOME OBSESSED WITH THIS MANUFACTURED IDEA OF VIOLENCE SWEEPING ACROSS AMERICAN CAMPUSES ALL WHILE FAILING TO COVER THE VERY REAL VIOLENCE THAT HAS DECIMATED AN ENTIRE GENERATION'S ACCESS TO EDUCATION. THE MEDIA IS NOT DOING THIS ALONE. IN NEW YORK CITY, MAYOR ERIC ADAMS HAS MADE HIMSELF AS THE NATION, OR DESCRIBES, THE PUBLIC FACE OF THE NATIONWIDE CAMPUS CRACKDOWN ON PRO- PALESTINIAN ACTIVISM. ADAMS ATTEMPTED TO RATIONALIZE THE NYPD'S CRACKDOWN ON COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, CLAIMING HE'S PREVENTING YOUNG PEOPLE FROM BEING "RADICALIZED BY PROFESSIONALS." DEPUTY COMMISSIONER TARIK SHEPPARD HAS GOTTEN IN ON THE BASELESS FEAR MONGERING AS WELL. TOUTING, BIKE CHAINS, LITERALLY BIKE CHAINS SOLD AT A DISCOUNT BY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AS SOME KIND OF SINISTER WEAPON THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT IN BY OUTSIDERS. IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT SINISTER WEAPONS INFLICTING MASS DESTRUCTION ON A CAMPUS, WHAT ABOUT THE 300 PLUS MINES USED TO BLOW UP ISRA UNIVERSITY? YOU CANNOT CLAIM TO BE WORRIED ABOUT VIOLENCE AT UNIVERSITIES, ABOUT SORPTION'S TO STUDENTS' EDUCATION, ABOUT SAFETY ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES AND IGNORE WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN GAZA. YOU CANNOT BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ACT OF STUDENTS PROTESTING THAN YOU ARE WITH THE VERY ISSUES THEY ARE PROTESTING
